Remarks on the Occasion of the Inauguration of the Allied Command Transformation, Norfolk, Virginia
“Let us openly recognize that the likelihood of a major war in Europe is very low. This reality, far from spelling trouble for NATO, is to my mind the very opposite – a strategic indicator that demonstrates the alliance’s success. Just because a society finds itself in superb health does not mean that there is no longer any role for a first-rate medical profession; to the contrary, good health is the direct result of excellence in medicine. And so it is with NATO and a more peaceful Europe, full of the promise of prosperity.”
